    Giant Flamingo
    Erik P.

    Overall, I think this is a pretty nice airport. I felt like security went smoothly, signs were placed well and easy to read, and there are plenty of restaurants and seats. There's a giant flamingo in the middle of the main terminal, which helps set the vibe. Lounge availability could be better - need a Priority Pass Lounge (not a restaurant) and/or an Escape Lounge.

    This is a spectacular airport. Lots of details! Organized efficiently and very clean.

    I love how easy it is to travel through this airport. There are plenty of good food and beverage options, and everything runs efficiently.

    Nice here! They keep the restrooms clean!! I wish my son and granddaughter was coming here!! I got here early very early!!

    What can I say? As a professional chauffeur I rate an airport on how easy it is to get in and out, how convenient the cell phone lot and the short term parking is, how long it takes for luggage to arrive, And how close and clean the bathrooms are! TPA gets five stars in all of these areas except for the luggage. It appears that they laid off a lot of baggage handlers during Covid and never managed to replace them all. Luggage takes an unusually long time to arrive for several airlines. But the good news is that they are getting better.

    Tampa International Airport has undergone a substantial remodel. The remodeling is still underway. So many shops and restaurants!! Who can miss the one of kind FLAMINGO!! Today I saw the Christmas decorations while passing thru for work!!

    TPA great place!

    Tampa International Airport has come a long way... it's a state of the art modern airport which takes the hassel outta travel. Your car rental is convieniently a monorail ride away. TPA's kiosk allows you to check-in, print a boarding pass, check your bags and request seating changes, essentially automating most common tasks. You can find many great restaurants and coffee shops along the way to your gate. The terminals are spotless and well organized with recharging stations for your smart phone or laptop. Tampa International Airport is also a great place to shop for your last minute gift for your love ones. And is a pleasure to fly in and out from and to your destinations.

    A MASTERCLASS IN AVIATION LOGISTICS AND BRAND ENGAGEMENT As…read morean e-commerce business owner whose daily operations depend heavily on seamless logistics, I evaluate infrastructural efficiency with a highly critical eye. Tampa International Airport consistently demonstrates an exceptional level of operational proficiency. The architectural layout and passenger flow are remarkably intuitive, making the process of flying in and out genuinely simple and fast. When traveling with my husband and children, mitigating transit friction is paramount, and this facility fundamentally eliminates the typical stressors associated with modern air travel. Beyond their logistical prowess, I must commend their digital marketing strategy. Their social media postings are, quite frankly, hilarious. It is rare to see a transportation entity execute such a witty, engaging, and culturally resonant online brand. It reflects a high degree of organizational intelligence and a keen understanding of modern consumer engagement. Tampa International sets the premier standard for how an airport should operate, seamlessly merging frictionless travel with brilliant public relations. It is a consistently superior experience from arrival to departure.

I honestly couldn't remember whether I had been through this airport before, but if I had, I certainly didn't remember it being this large. The layout took a little getting used to, especially with the tram ride to and from the rental car area, but everything was somewhat clearly marked and easy to navigate. The giant flamingo sculpture in the middle of the airport was impossible to miss and quickly became a favorite landmark for the kids. It's one of those unexpected touches that gives an airport a little personality. We also flew out of Tampa at the end of our trip, and the departure experience was smooth and stress-free. That's about the highest compliment I can give an airport when traveling with children. One minor downside: the Starbucks in our terminal was already sold out of quite a few food items and it wasn't even midday yet. Fortunately, we were able to grab sandwiches from Potbelly, which worked out just fine. Overall, Tampa International was clean, efficient, and much easier to navigate than many airports of a similar size. We'd be happy to fly through here again.

    It looks like the rating for Airside A at TPA is being brought down by misplaced reviews of TSA at…read moreCheckpoint A. It's true that it's one of the oldest airsides at this airport. However, I didn't see any problems with the facilities or restaurants there. It's the main terminal for United Airlines as well as JetBlue (and others). We recently flew out of here on our way to their hub in Houston (IAH). The last time was when we flew to Puerto Rico to visit family members prior to 2018. I don't remember seeing the "Copper Birds" there at that time. I've always wondered where they went. I'm glad they found a good place to display them. The view of the runway at Airside A (as well as F) is very nice. The boarding for United was very organized. I think the only negative is that only one of the SkyConnect trams was operational. It's a minor inconvenience. The wait time wasn't too long for the other one to return. The people mover trams will all eventually be replaced anyway, so expect more wait times at all the airsides. It will be a nice upgrade to TPA once that project is completed. As always, it was a smooth trip back to Tampa.

    This terminal lacks the sit down food options that other terminals have. My regular flight got…read moremoved from airline c and this terminal is garbage compared to what is available in airside C. 2 sit down places and one closed kitchen at 6:30.

    Wow, I haven't seen Roy Butler's Copper Birds since they moved them to Airside A in 2018.
